This was a waste of money. I recommend buying something that makes more sense. The game play is just like the first one. Skills have little to no effect on the gameplay at all. The time it takes to find animals that are mot machines is unreal and by the time you, you have no time to hunt them cuz the machines attack you. Good luck trying to get better gear unless you plan on dying 1000x times before you get anything good. I didn't know i bought Elden ring
